When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Marline Leases 1980s:
Part 5 - VUI's True Goals as per Their Prospectus
According to the p.p. presentation (From Part 5 of SSC's p.p. presentation by Gregg Vickrey):
Page 5 of VUI's prospectus states Holdco's (VUI's) Intentions and Goals: According to the February 1982 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Conservation and Economic Development Report, titled Virginia Minerals, "Marline Uranium leased approximately 40,000 acres in Pittsylvania County, and 600 acres in the Ridgeway are of Henry County, in Southern Va. Also leased were 15,000 acres in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Orange Counties."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2QorqLNHr8&feature=related

Mining in Barboursville: Uranium
Before the Virginia moratorium on uranium mining, 2,000 acres of land in Orange County was under lease to uranium mining companies.http://www.b-ville.net/nomine/uranium/

Virginia Agreement State Status Info:
Virginia Department of Health and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Finalize "Agreement State" Status:
Under the agreement, the NRC will transfer to Virginia the responsibility for licensing, rulemaking, inspection and enforcement activities for: (1) radioactive materials produced as a result of processes related to the production or utilization of special nuclear material (SNM); (2) naturally occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive material (NARM); (3) source material (uranium and thorium); and (4) SNM in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass. http://seltzergreene.com/news/2010/virginia-becomes-an-agreement-state

Evaluation of Fracture Flow at the Coles Hill Uranium Deposit in Pittsylvania County, VA using Electrical Resistivity, Bore Hole Logging, Pumping Tests, and Age Dating Methods, by John P. Gannon II (Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geosciences), October 7, 2009, Blacksburg, VA.

It is clear from this study that a more detailed hydrogeologic investigation surrounding the deposit is warranted in order to make any conclusions about the effects a potential mine would have on the groundwater of the area surrounding Coles Hill. It is essential that age dating and chemistry be performed on wells intersecting productive fracture zones located further into the Danville Triassic basin and the Leatherwood Granite. The age and chemistry of water from such wells, as well as their natural hydraulic head, would provide evidence of the origin of the water in highly transmissive zones at Coles Hill:http://www.scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-09242009-102707/unrestricted/Gannon_JP_T_20 09.pdf

SB1138/HB1790 - Nuclear Energy Consortium bills headed to VA Governor Bob McDonnell -
We do not want more Nuclear Power in VA, nuke power is not green or clean, starts with uranium mining to nuke rods which last 4ever!
The General wording allows for a lack of transparency and public accountability, and that that may have been deliberately written into the bill to give VNECA unchecked powers, including the authority and power to promote and expand cradle to grave nuclear industries using taxpayer’s monies for grants.
SB 1138 Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium Authority;
Introduced by: Jeffrey L. McWaters
